We ’ve all spooned grub into our gaping gob at one point or another , but how about spooning a new soul into the vacant stubble of American manufacturing ? That ’s whatSpuniis doing with just a vivid idea and coxa - tastic technology like crowd - backing and 3D printing . The New York Times dig into the story of Spuni ’s ascent , and how it ’s feeding an industry , spoonful by spoonful .
Fromthe Times :
[ spoon ] are poorly design for small child . As they bite into the spoonful , the solid food in the back one-half has nowhere to go but the floor . … [ They ] came up with the idea of a flatter - form , more ergonomical spoon that would allow a baby to suck the food off it .
… To raise capital , they relied on crowd - sourcing , yield almost $ 38,000 by preselling Spunis on the Web site Indiegogo . Marcel , meanwhile , cut a deal with a small German manufacturing business he had used before . … If all hold out consort to program , Spuni will be churning out around one million spoon a year by 2015 .
And the home stand for this design innovation is none other than theBrooklyn Navy Yard , quite literally the husk of a manufacture old age break down by , where Spuni plans to eventually open a small Department of State - side manufacture plant .
fortify with a clever design , rapid prototyping , and all today ’s tech at hand , Spuni spirit set to help breathe new life into an obsolescent landmark of industry . And also make some kickass spoonful to boot . you may translate more about Spuni ’s journey over atThe New York Times . [ The New York Times ]
